AP FACT CHECK: Trump botches 殺人 率
WASHINGTON (AP) ― 大統領 Donald Trump's dark 見解（をとる） of violent 罪，犯罪 in America 残り／休憩（する）s 大部分は on a 偽の （人命などを）奪う，主張する: that the 殺人 率 is higher than it's been in nearly half a century. 現実に, the 殺人 率 is 負かす／撃墜する はっきりと in that time, にもかかわらず a 最近の spike.
On Tuesday, he told a 会合 of 郡保安官s: "The 殺人 率 in our country is the highest it's been in 47 years, 権利? Did you know that? Forty-seven years. I used to use that ― I'd say that in a speech and everybody was surprised because the 圧力（をかける） doesn't tell it like it is." He circled 支援する to 追加する: "The 殺人 率 is the highest it's been in, I guess, from 45 to 47 years."
THE FACTS: The 殺人 率 in 2015, the 最新の year for which 人物／姿／数字s are 利用できる, is 現実に の中で the lowest in half a century. It stood at 4.9 殺人s per 100,000 people, a far cry from the 率s in the 1970s, 1980s and most of the 1990s, when they were typically over 6 per 100,000, 頂点（に達する）ing at over 10 in 1980.

It's true that 2015 saw one of the largest 増加するs in １０年間s, up 10 パーセント from 4.4 殺人s per 100,000 people in 2014, but even with that rise 殺人s are not on the order of what the country experienced in previous １０年間s.
Trump has misrepresented 罪，犯罪 統計（学） on several occasions. He 明言する／公表するd last month that Philadelphia's 殺人 率 has been "terribly 増加するing" even though it dropped わずかに last year. The city's 殺人 率 rose in the previous two years but remained 大幅に lower than in past １０年間s.
He also incorrectly （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that two people "were 発射 and killed" in Chicago during then-大統領 Barack Obama's 別れの（言葉，会） speech on Jan. 10. Although Chicago has experienced a 殺到する in 殺人s compared with previous １０年間s, no one was fatally 発射 in Chicago that day, police 記録，記録的な／記録するs show, much いっそう少なく during Obama's speech.
